At the end of the day, we have to manufacture our own meaning, our own purpose – we have to manufacture coherence… to make sense of existence. And when you manufacture purpose, that doesn’t make it artificial – that makes it so much more noble than accepting purpose that is thrust upon you from the outer world. From The Search for Meaning by Brian Greene
Early in my career I knew I could no longer accept the values of an art form that already shaped the trajectory of my life. I was fed but not nourished by my experiences of movement and performance. From that moment on my bodily research has centered around a process I call non-discriminatory learning – rejecting the given that space is empty or that the word empty describes what is not visible to the naked eye.
Workshop-Extension: Moving On – Moving Further
At the conclusion of this 5-day workshop Hay will chose a small group to collectively determine how to use their experience of non-discriminatory learning to develop a process that can visually translate as ‘vignettes’. The 2-day intensive would include the future projection of a 5-week workshop in 2023 where new vignettes would be choreographed and performed during a week of Berlin-based performances.
